        It’s bigger than many countries and more populous than many countries. And it’s in WHO.

        Unnecessarily pedantic to exclude it.

            Puerto Rico isn’t a country, yet it is green on this map.

            Greenland isn’t a country, yet it is shaded a color.

            The purpose of a map is to convey geographic information. What you seem to be looking for is a dictionary.

              Greenland is a country. It’s a country that’s part of Denmark.

              Countries can in fact be part of other countries. It’s allowed.

                PR is a great example. Why is it shaded green on this map?

                While we’re on the subject of literal readings of this map; Argentina is in WHO, and is shaded a color not on the legend. Do you have a problem with this part?

        It’s naive to think everything is binary. Parts of the US are in it and parts are not.

            With how things are run these days they may be called the Divided States of America. Unless Trump gains total control, then it turns into the FSA.
